MyRepublic signs MVNO agreement with StarHub

Singapore fiber ISP MyRepublic has formed an MVNO agreement with StarHub to support its intention of launching mobile services.

The agreement will allow MyRepublic to provide mobile services despite failing to win the auction for Singapore's fourth telco license.

Announcing the agreement, MyRepublic said it was encouraged to continue with its mobile ambitions by the strong response to a request for registrations of interest during its HetNet Mobility Trial in Jurong.

We made a promise and we want to stand by that promise,” Myrepublic CEO Malcolm Rodrigues said.

“We promised that MyRepublic would bring a better kind of mobile service to Singapore, and we believe we can still do that. And we definitely want to thank our friends and supporters for believing in us.”

The company has been building an MVNO platform in the cloud in advance of the launch of mobile services.

MyRepublic has revealed plans to target its mobile services at younger and more technology savvy Singaporeans. The company said it plans to launch the services “very soon.”

MyRepublic has also previously announced plans to pursue MVNO operations across its other operating markets of Australia, Indonesia and New Zealand.
